What happens internally to a company is not a matter of public knowledge. An outsider can only presume that the authority and activites of the company are as per the approvals for a company. So if the outsider trusts the company and enters into a contract based on the MOA and AOA provisions available, such an outsider cannot be penalised for a wrong doing of someone from inside the company, so outsiders are safeguarded
The doctrine of indoor management, also known as the Turquand rule is a 150-year old concept, which protects outsiders against the actions done by the company. Any person who enters into a contract with the company shall ensure that the transaction is authorised by the articles and memorandum of the company. The doctrine provides the third parties who enter into a contract with the company is protected against any irregularities in the internal procedure of the company. The third parties cannot find out internal irregularities that take place in a company, hence the company will be liable for any loss suffered by them due to these irregularities. The doctrine of constructive notice protects the company against the claim of third parties while the doctrine of indoor management protects the third parties against the company procedures.
